Adobe Stock / Re: What's your weekly ranking and how many images?

Don't think that spamming is the future.
On average lightning, composition and colors of AI images is better than classic microstock images.
Before AI most of the images have been just good enough for sale. With AI lots of the images are at the level of best sellers.
There is no change in algos, it has been always like this. Images are replaced in search results with better performing images.
Spamming is just more low quality of the same.

There must have been an algo change. It's not possible that for over a year I've been in the 200-400 range EVERY SINGLE week, and now just in 2 week times I got kicked into positions 700-800. Last year September and October were my all-time best months. This year October earnings were 40% lower than October year before.

I just wanted to confirm a sudden drop in sales for long term high ranked contributors. In last two weeks I fell from about 150th place weekly to around 250th. Sales down from 200 a day to 140 a day.
Constant uploads, mix of real and AI. I have been at Adobe (Fotolia) since about 2008.

Very discouraging, must have been some change in algorithm.

Is it already confirmed that Adobe has changed the algorithm? There was perhaps some larger discussion about this on the Adobe Stock discord? Since the end of August I've been seeing declines in my weekly earnings and weekly position, and the last 2 weeks have been downright dramatic! Since September 2023, my weekly position has regularly fluctuated between 200 and 400 and my earnings have oscillated between $500 and $700, averaging $560 per week during that period.

The last 2 weeks have seen a drop to almost 800 position and earnings of only 350 and 325. I can already see this week ain't gonna be any better. I completely don't understand this, because until now I have never had such large swings, and Adobe Stock is a full-time job for me. I will mention that the daily amount of stock I upload has been constant for a long time

So, back down in the real world.

pos 3450, 4300 files

hi! If these are your numbers then how did you manage to make into Recent top sellers for this week in the Illustrations section? I don't get it

On Adobe always the last week is shown and not the current one. Cobalt's last week was pretty good.
But yeah I wonder still also a little bit. Her position ranking was under 1000 if I'm not wrong.
So either almost everyone with a better ranking was a photo seller or Adobe does not show the real cash cows with rankings < 100.

Well going with Adobe's rules...

For each asset type we generate a list of 200 contributors who made the most sales in the previous week, only considering their uploads from the past six months. Then, we order the list based on each contributor’s uploads/sales ratio, and the top 10 contributors on this list are featured as “Recent top sellers”.

... I don't think it's possible to get into weekly top sellers being anywhere between position 1k-2k. something very strange here

Dreamstime.com / FTP Upload broken? "530 Login incorrect."

Hi, does ftp uploading work on Dreamstime? I get "530 Login incorrect." while trying to use filezilla. I'm 100% sure I'm using right credentials - took the user id as login and my password but it won't connect.

123RF / Re: 123RF sales stopped.

« on: February 23, 2024, 02:26 »

Hi there!
Do you think it's worth starting your 123rf adventure in 2024? I'm a fairly successful contributor on Adobe Stock where my monthly revenue is between $2,000 and $3,000 and my portfolio is 35k images. I'm wondering if it's worth putting my entire portfolio on 123rf and to start uploading there on a regular basis?

I also noticed that they offer PREMIUM or PREMIUM+PLUS sales - which option is better according to your experience?
